Barcelona target Ruud Nijstad caught the eye on Sunday with an impressive goal for FC Twente in a 4-1 Eredivisie win over Camburr.
The defender opened the scoring in some style midway through the first half with a super strike. Nijstad brought the ball forward and then left fly with a left-footed effort from outside the box that flew into the top corner.
Rumors of a potential move have resurfaced in the wake of [Alvaro Cortes’ departure for Royal Antwerp](/fc-barcelona-transfer-rumors-news/130654/ruud-nijstad-back-in-barcelonas-sights-as-alvaro-cortes-departs) and may have been fuelled by Nijstad’s admission that he’d love to play alongside [Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi](/fc-barcelona-transfer-rumors-news/126831/my-ultimate-goal-barcelona-target-ruud-nijstad-reveals-desire-to-play-alongside-pau-cubarsi).
With the transfer window set to close tomorrow, a deal looks unlikely, but Nijstad is clearly a big talent and well and truly on Barcelona’s radar.
